GRU update equations:
$$ Update gate: u_t = \sigmoid(U' * s_{t-1} + B') $$
$$ Reset gate: r_t = \sigmoid(U'' * s_{t-1} + B'') $$
$$ Candidate memory: c_t = \tanh(U * (r_t \odot s_{t-1}) + B) $$

See combinators.Gate for details on the gating function.
Args:
candidate_transform: Transform to apply inside the Candidate branch. Applied
before nonlinearities.
memory_transform_fn: Optional transformation on the memory before gating.
gate_nonlinearity: Function to use as gate activation. Allows trying
alternatives to Sigmoid, such as HardSigmoid.
candidate_nonlinearity: Nonlinearity to apply after candidate branch. Allows
trying alternatives to traditional Tanh, such as HardTanh
dropout_rate_c: Amount of dropout on the transform (c) gate. Dropout works
best in a GRU when applied exclusively to this branch.
sigmoid_bias: Constant to add before sigmoid gates. Generally want to start
off with a positive bias.
Returns:
A model representing a GRU cell with specified transforms.
